The shielding film 200 of the flexible display panel has a plurality of hollowed-out portions 201 at least in the bendable area BA; that is, the shielding film 200 in the flexible display panel of the present invention may have a plurality of hollow portions 201 only in the bending area BA, or may have a hollow portion 201 in the non-bending area NBA of the flexible display panel.
Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the flexible display panel shown in fig. 3 in a bent state. As shown in fig. 4, the shielding film 200 in the flexible display panel is located on the side of the flexible substrate away from the array layer 101; the BA shielding film at least in the bendable area is provided with a plurality of hollow parts 201; that is, the shielding film 200 in the flexible display panel provided by the present invention may have a plurality of hollow portions 201 only in the bendable region BA, or may also have a hollow portion 201 in the non-bendable region NBA of the flexible display panel. Compared with the prior art, in the flexible display panel provided by the invention, the shielding film 200 at least has the plurality of hollowed-out parts 201 in the bendable region, and in the bending state shown in fig. 4, the hollowed-out parts 201 can deform to a certain extent after being subjected to the action of an external force and can transmit the acting force applied to the hollowed-out parts, so that the bending stress can be prevented from being excessively concentrated, the ductility of the shielding film can be enhanced, the bending resistance can be improved, the phenomenon of crease generation of the flexible display panel can be avoided, the shielding film can be ensured to shield electromagnetic signal interference, the peeling phenomenon between the flexible display panel film layers can be prevented, and the reliability of the performance of the flexible display panel can be ensured.
With continued reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the thickness of the shielding film 200 in the flexible display panel provided by the present invention is d, and optionally, the thickness d of the shielding film 200 is between 100 μm and 1mm, i.e., 100 μm ≦ d ≦ 1 mm. When the thickness d of the shielding film 200 is less than 100 μm, the electromagnetic shielding effect of the shielding film 200 is reduced, affecting the electromagnetic shielding effect of the shielding film 200; when the thickness d of the shielding film 200 is greater than 1mm, the thickness d of the shielding film 200 is too large, which is not favorable for bending the flexible display panel and affects the bending reliability of the flexible display panel.

Optionally, in the flexible display panel provided by the present invention, the size of the hollow portion 201 of the shielding film 200 is between 0.1mm and 1 cm. When the size of the hollow portion 201 of the shielding film 200 is too small, and the flexible display panel is in a bent state, the deformation amount of the hollow portion 201 of the shielding film 200 after being subjected to the external force is small, the transmission capability of the transmission is weak, and the bending stress cannot be relieved, so that the crease phenomenon of the flexible display panel cannot be improved. When the size of the hollow portion 201 of the shielding film 200 is greater than 1cm, the electromagnetic shielding effect of the shielding film 200 on the flexible display panel is reduced, which affects the electromagnetic shielding function of the shielding film 200.

Based on the same inventive concept, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a shielding film pattern of another alternative implementation of the flexible display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, in the flexible display panel provided by the present invention, the shielding film 200 is a mesh shielding film. As shown in fig. 5, the shielding film 200 is a mesh-like shielding film having two directions of independent stretching in the X direction and the Y direction; wherein the X-direction and the Y-direction are perpendicular to each other. The reticular shielding film can be independently stretched in the X direction and the Y direction, and can relieve the tensile stress concentration in the X direction during the stretching in the X direction, so that the reliability of the flexible display panel is enhanced. Meanwhile, stretching in the X direction does not affect stretching in the Y direction or has little effect. Similarly, when the flexible display panel is stretched in the Y direction, the tensile stress concentration in the Y direction can be relieved, and the reliability of the flexible display panel is enhanced. Meanwhile, stretching in the Y direction does not affect stretching in the X direction or has little effect.
With continued reference to fig. 5, the mesh-shaped shielding film in the flexible display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention can be stretched in the X direction and the Y direction separately, and the mesh-shaped shielding film in the X direction has an X-direction separate stretching pattern and the mesh-shaped shielding film in the Y direction has a Y-direction separate stretching pattern. As shown in fig. 5, the mesh-like shielding film includes an individual stretched pattern 2001 in the X direction and an individual stretched pattern 2002 in the Y direction. The individual stretched pattern 2001 in the X direction is a "zigzag" pattern in the X direction by one piece, and the individual stretched pattern 2002 in the Y direction is a "zigzag" pattern 20021 in one piece in the Y direction, in which a plurality of the small pieces of the "zigzag" pattern 20021 are repeatedly arranged in the X direction. The individual stretched patterns 2001 in the X direction and the individual stretched patterns 2002 in the Y direction are alternately arranged in the Y direction and connected to constitute a pattern of the mesh-like shielding film. When the X direction stretches, the X direction independently stretches the pattern, so that the external stress is relieved through the deformation of the pattern 2001, the phenomenon that the flexible display panel is creased due to stress concentration is avoided, and the reliability of the flexible display panel is enhanced. Meanwhile, stretching in the X direction does not affect the Y-direction individual stretched pattern 2002, or has little effect, i.e., the Y-direction individual stretched pattern 2002 is deformed by less than 10%. Similarly, when stretching in the Y direction, the Y-direction single stretching pattern 2002 relieves the external stress through the deformation of the pattern itself, avoids the stress concentration from causing the flexible display panel to have a crease, and enhances the reliability of the flexible display panel. Meanwhile, the stretching in the Y direction does not affect the individual stretched pattern 2001 in the X direction, or the effect is small, that is, the individual stretched pattern 2001 in the X direction is deformed by less than 10%. Compared with a common netted shielding film, the netted shielding film with two independent stretching directions provided by the embodiment has more excellent bending and stretching effects, the extensibility, the contractibility and the bending resistance of the netted shielding film are improved, the shielding film is stretched independently in one direction without influencing the performance of the flexible display panel in the other direction, and the flexible display panel has better stability. Moreover, the flexible display panel provided by the embodiment has the mesh shielding films in two independent stretching directions, and has the capability of relieving bending stress of the shielding film pattern on the basis of the mesh shielding film material corresponding to tensile deformation, so that the reliability of the flexible display panel is improved. Optionally, the mesh shielding film is disposed at least in the bendable region BA, and the non-bendable region NBA shielding film is not limited.
Optionally, in the shielding film in the flexible display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the net-shaped shielding film has separate stretching patterns in the X direction and the Y direction, the separate stretching pattern in the X direction is the same as the separate stretching pattern in the Y direction, or the separate stretching pattern in the X direction is different from the separate stretching pattern in the Y direction.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a shielding film pattern according to another alternative embodiment of the present invention. The shielding film is a mesh-like shielding film as shown in fig. 6. The mesh-like shielding film can be stretched independently in the X-direction and the Y-direction, and has an X-direction independent stretch pattern and a Y-direction independent stretch pattern. As shown in fig. 6, the mesh-like shielding film includes an individual stretched pattern 2003 in the X direction and an individual stretched pattern 2004 in the Y direction. The individual stretched pattern in the X direction is a "lantern" pattern that is full in the X direction, and the individual stretched pattern in the Y direction 2004 is a "lantern" pattern that is full in the Y direction. The X-direction individual stretched pattern 2003 and the Y-direction individual stretched pattern 2004 are repeatedly arranged in the Y-direction and the X-direction, respectively, and the X-direction individual stretched pattern 2003 intersects the Y-direction individual stretched pattern 2004 with an intersecting pattern K1, wherein the intersecting pattern K1 does not intersect with both the X-direction "lantern" pattern and the Y-direction "lantern" pattern, and has a hollowed-out shape in K1. When stretching in the X direction, the X-direction independent stretching pattern 2003 relieves the external stress through the deformation of the pattern, avoids the crease of the flexible display panel caused by stress concentration, and enhances the reliability of the flexible display panel. Meanwhile, the stretching in the X direction does not affect the individual stretched pattern 2004 in the Y direction, or the effect is small, that is, the amount of deformation of the individual stretched pattern 2004 in the Y direction is small. Similarly, when stretching in the Y direction, the Y-direction single stretching pattern 2004 relieves the external stress through the deformation of the pattern itself, avoids the stress concentration from causing the flexible display panel to have a crease, and enhances the reliability of the flexible display panel. Meanwhile, the stretching in the Y direction does not affect the individual stretched pattern 2003 in the X direction, or the effect is small, that is, the amount of deformation of the individual stretched pattern 2003 in the X direction is small. Compared with a common netted shielding film, the netted shielding film with two independent stretching directions provided by the embodiment has more excellent bending and stretching effects, the extensibility, the contractibility and the bending resistance of the netted shielding film are improved, the shielding film is stretched independently in one direction without influencing the performance of the flexible display panel in the other direction, and the flexible display panel has better stability. Moreover, the flexible display panel provided by the embodiment has the mesh shielding films in two independent stretching directions, and has the capability of relieving bending stress of the shielding film pattern on the basis of the mesh shielding film material corresponding to tensile deformation, so that the reliability of the flexible display panel is improved. In addition, compared with the previous embodiment, the shielding film of the flexible display panel provided by the embodiment can ensure the etching uniformity in the aspect of process preparation. It should be noted that, the shielding film in the flexible display panel provided by the present invention may be formed by etching the shielding film to form a hollow portion after the shielding film is manufactured on the whole surface, or may be formed by imprinting a pattern, and the method for manufacturing the shielding film is not limited.
Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a shielding film pattern according to another alternative embodiment of the present invention. The shielding film is a mesh-like shielding film as shown in fig. 7. The mesh-like shielding film can be stretched independently in the X-direction and the Y-direction, and has an X-direction independent stretch pattern and a Y-direction independent stretch pattern. As shown in fig. 7, the mesh-type shielding film includes an individual stretched pattern 2005 in the X direction and an individual stretched pattern 2006 in the Y direction. The individual stretched pattern in the X direction is a "lantern" pattern that is full in the X direction, and the individual stretched pattern in the Y direction 2006 is a "lantern" pattern that is full in the Y direction. The X-direction individual stretched pattern 2005 and the Y-direction individual stretched pattern 2006 are repeatedly arranged in the Y direction and the X direction, respectively, and the X-direction individual stretched pattern 2005 intersects the Y-direction individual stretched pattern 2006 at an intersection point K2, where the intersection point K2 does not intersect with both the X-direction "lantern type" pattern and the Y-direction "lantern type" pattern. When stretching in the X direction, the pattern 2005 stretched alone in the X direction relieves the external stress by deformation of the pattern itself, so that a crease is prevented from appearing on the flexible display panel due to stress concentration, and the reliability of the flexible display panel is enhanced. Meanwhile, stretching in the X direction does not affect the Y-direction individual stretched pattern 2006, or has little effect, i.e., the Y-direction individual stretched pattern 2006 is small in amount of deformation. Similarly, when stretching in the Y direction, the Y-direction stretching pattern 2006 relieves the external stress through the deformation of the pattern itself, avoiding the flexible display panel from being folded due to stress concentration, and enhancing the reliability of the flexible display panel. Meanwhile, the stretching in the Y direction does not affect the individual stretched pattern 2005 in the X direction, or has little effect, i.e., the amount of deformation of the individual stretched pattern 2005 in the X direction is small. Compared with a common netted shielding film, the netted shielding film with two independent stretching directions provided by the embodiment has more excellent bending and stretching effects, the extensibility, the contractibility and the bending resistance of the netted shielding film are improved, the shielding film is stretched independently in one direction without influencing the performance of the flexible display panel in the other direction, and the flexible display panel has better stability.
